Triangle over Beloit, WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were driving in a neighborhood and both of us see a very large object above the tall tree line. There were two very large, really bright, white rectangular lights facing forward illuminating the sky. One smaller red light was at the back of the object. The thing was absolutely silent and suspended (no movement whatsoever. Seemed more like “parked” than hovering). After a couple minutes, it very quickly moved away in a linear fashion and was just gone. We were also surprised to see that the time was 15-30 minutes later than we thought it should be (though we cannot verify this for sure).
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #157580). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

A bright V-shaped object moved across the sky. We noticed it was twice the speed of an airplane. As it came into view, we noticed it had white lights on the sides with a red light circulating around the sides. The object moved fast for 30 seconds, then slowed down before moving out of view. It traveled in a straight line the whole way.

While watching private fireworks in the neighborhood, while in my mother's back yard, she and I observed and unusual light traveling from the ESE to WNW, traveling nearly directly overhead. The light was reddish and seemed to did not blink. I immediately began to record the object on video using my phone camera. I have attached the link to the videos in a separate email to ufocntr@nwlink.com. There are two videos on my cell phone, which I've upload to my Amazon photos account. Twenty minutes after the first observation, I witnessed a second object, identical to the first. It is possible that I observed the same object twice. The second object was traveling the same trajectory as the first, just a few hundred feet to the north of the first path. Though not clear in the video (at least on my phone screen), the object(s) appeared spherical, especially the first sighting after it passed over my position (was headed away). At first, it appeared to be just a reddish light in the sky, but then clearly had a size that was not illuminated. When reviewing the video, as it retreated to the WNW, the first object has an interesting pattern visible in its structure upon my zooming in with the camera functions. Unfortunately, the microphone on my phone's camera was disabled, but the objects produced no sound, although they appeared to be only a few hundred feet in altitude above my position.

Watched a speeding ball of light traverse the sky from one horizon to the other, east to North Western direction. No blinking lights, definitely faster than satellite movement.it changes direction a slight bit as it travelled. And seemed to skim in and out of the atmosphere.
